- Duration: 3 Hours
- Way of Presentation: ☒ Face to face / ☒ Webinar Via zoom (online)
- Learning Objectives:
- Mastering the “Top-Down” Philosophy: Understand why the final prosthetic outcome must dictate the surgical placement of the implant rather than bone availability alone.
- Comprehensive Data Collection: Learn to integrate clinical photography, impressions, and CBCT data to create a virtual treatment plan.
- Biomechanical Risk Assessment: Identify patient-specific factors, such as occlusal forces and parafunctional habits, that influence implant number and distribution.
- Surgical Guide Utilization: Evaluate the differences between tooth-supported, mucosa-supported, and bone-supported guides for accurate execution of the prosthetic plan.
- Material Selection: Discuss the selection of restorative materials (Zirconia, PFM, or Titanium) based on the planned prosthetic design and aesthetic zone requirements.
Abstract: Many clinical failures or aesthetic compromises arise not from a lack of osseointegration, but from poor implant positioning that complicates the final restoration. The session will guide practitioners through a systematic “reverse-engineering” approach to implant cases. We will cover the essential steps of digital wax-ups, the integration of 3D imaging, and the biological principles that ensure long-term soft tissue stability. By the end of this course, participants will have a clear framework for planning single-unit and multi-unit cases that are functionally sound, aesthetically pleasing, and easy for the patient to maintain.
